[[[WELCOME TO PANEL]]]

=====

*11 models walk into the warehouse towards a runway in the middle of the vast room. As the assemble onto the platform, they look down the catwalk and see the judges, sitting at a table at the end of the runway*

Congratulations on making it past the double elimination rounds. However, the competition only gets tougher from this point on. By the end of this night, two of you will be battling it out in front of the public, and one of you will leave.

Now, joining me on the panel this week:

Danielvk (Daniela Ryde), host of Danielvk's NTM
Crab (Laquisha),  2nd runner up of Cycle 1 of Danielvk's Next Top Mode

"Denim"; how did yall pull it off? Well, let's see!

[[LARA]]

Daniela ::  I love the face, and the eyes, but the denim looks WAY too tight, and the hand on the button is really awkward. Shoulders up its good, under shoulders it’s awkward. It’s overall okay.

Laquisha :: Gurl is this hooters? Didnt think so you look WAY too relaxed a model should look relaxed but this is just like hi i dont give a shit. put those legs together gurl.

Kebin :: This is amazing. I love the whole mood of this shoot, how relaxed your body language is, yet how it is still so striking. Your legs go on for miles! However, the face is what wows me the most; that intensity behind those eyes is so gorgeous. You're going great, Lara!

[[ALESSANDRA]]

Daniela :: I love this!! The face, the eyes, the jeans. F I E R C E. My only problem is that she looks really short. Other than that, it’s perfect. Very nice job.

Laquisha :: I love your face but gurl you aint giving Denim a good name with that shirt. Love the jeans but you could have worked alittle harder to show them off abiut betterm, she looks like shes a man, just saying.

Kebin :: It's a bit stiff for me, but you look gorgeous! The photograph isn't really wowing me. It's a bit safe, and I do think you could've produced a more interesting photo. Good shot, still.

[[KATE]]

Daniela :: I love the eyes. It seems like she is hiding the denim though, she is supposed to be selling it. I wish it showed better. The other problem is that since Kate is very short, she needs to look tall, but she looks very short in the pic, that’s it.

Laquisha :: I am so sorry Lara and Allessandra because yall look like heaven compared to this, this looks like a cocaine addict im not even kidding. the pose is just awkward and she just doesnt even look comfortable and she looks like she just took a blow..

Kebin :: It's a really interesting concept you've got going on. I wish you were giving my expression in the face, but overall I think you pulled off this shot.

[[ANJA]]

Daniela :: I love this!! It looks like Lisa D’Amato! I love her jaw, its almost square which is fierce. I love her cool poses too. This is great, very nice job.

Laquisha :: do yuo want to be a SUPER model or just a plain old boring model that does a simple ad? Because this too me doesnt look like a supermodel more like a staying home mom, sorry hun.

Kebin :: I'm liking this pose. You just lost in the face. The eyes are just so blank and bland to me, you've lost your neck and I don't like the tension around your jaw.

[[CHANTAL]]

Daniela :: She looks drunk. I don’t like the bangs on her either. And it doesn’t even look like denim, it blends too much. This is really unimpressive. You have always been behind in this competition, and to be honest I don’t know why you are still here.

Laquisha :: Finally we have some fierceness. You are WORKING those clothes and those shoes gurls wow. your face is so calm but not too calm it is talking to me I love it!

Kebin :: It's a solid shot, but I wouldn't necessarily call this rememberable or interesting or inspiring. It's just very bland and boring. I would've like to see a less contrived pose and a more striking expression.

[[CARRIE]]

Daniela :: I love the face, but this shot looks really face. I don’t think that the body matches her face. And the clothes. So the face is great, but I don’t like the body. It does sell the denim the best though.

Laquisha :: The first think I noktice is that this is just a hot mess. You need to show the clothes if youre working for Denim you're not showing them good only thing good about this shot is the shoes your face is kinda no no too..

Kebin :: I'm let down by this. You're usually very strong, but this is just safe for me. Your body language is very stiff. You're just standing there like a mannequin. There just isn't a lot of attitude or feeling in your pose. The face is pretty, but blank. Not a big fan of this, Carrie.

[[CIARA]]

Daniela :: What part of this is denim? If the dress is denim, it sure doesn’t look like it. I think she looks good, and it could be great, but there really isn’t any denim. That is unacceptable.

Laquisha :: Ok I just love this, you are so fierce gurl I love this unique picture, BUT I just have to say you HAVE to have your eyes open even if you want to try something new eyes closed is just a big no no, but youre definatley selling the clothes I want to buy them!

Kebin :: Your best shot to date, but there is no way to reasonably argue that this has anything whatsoever to do with the brief.

[[COCO]]

Daniela :: I love this!! Coco is fierce, and this is a great shot. I love the arms, the eyes and the face. The only thing is that the denim isn’t selling. I’m going straight to her face, and the arms and the hair. Not the denim. Everything else is great though.

Laquisha :: Wow I love your eyes boo, they are telling me a story. You know just how to look with your eyes and it doesnt even seem fake it genuinly feels like you had no idea a camera was there and you were just thinking about something horrible, I love it. Only thing I would change is your hands. try to keep them away form eachother.

Kebin :: I love the feeling and the power in this shot. You have so much emotion in your body and your face, and I love that about this shot. It's striking! You do look little constipated, but you still pulled off a great shot.

[[NICOLA]]

Daniela :: This isn’t as impressive as you usually do. The eyes are dead, the face doesn’t work whatsoever. I love the shoulders down though. I would buy the jeans.

Laquisha :: I like this photo because you look is hawt, although this is also not very super model more like cheap ad it still looks different. I think it's your face, you should definetly work with a designer that wants a dark picture this is too pink and happy for you, I think youd be perfect for like darkness and evil. good but not great pic

Kebin :: Nicola! I'm shocked! This isn't good at all! You're wearing mom jeans and you look old. But I can't get over that strange expression on your face. What's up with the mouth? I would see this in Good House Keeping, not Vogue.

[[FEI FEI]]
http://i44.tinypic.com/rayhz5.jpg

Daniela :: I really like this! I think that the eyes are working, and I love the body. This is probably the best shot of her ever. Finally you’re doing good.

Laquisha :: I fucking love your gface you're like im semi nude but who gives a shit. I love it love it love it. BUT next time put on a shirt and it will be even better honey gurl.

Kebin :: You look great. That face, wow! I love you on this angle! Your cheek bones are flawless, and I love the expression. This is a really striking image.

[[JESSICA]]
http://i41.tinypic.com/1zgz6gp.jpg

Daniela :: You never fail to impress Jessica. I love the face and the eyes, and I would buy the jeans. I love the hand on the head too. Once again, good job

Laquisha :: You look fake, you look so photoshopped and just so ew. This is a real cheap ad, if thats an ad for top shop I'd say Low shop, seriously get your act together gurl. Worst pic of the bunch :o

Kebin :: The shot is growing on me. Your skin looks really beautiful, and I do like the pose. I just wish you were giving more in the face. You look incredibly beautiful, but nothing extraordinary.

The judges will now deliberate. When you return, 9 of you will continue and 2 of you will face the public. Good luck.

Good luck everyone!

-.- umm laquisha you do notice my photo WAS photoshopped, so that is beyond my control

Crap, just realize Crab left off his rankings. I guess we'll have to wait.
